John Ford`s gripping portrait of the twilight of politician Frank Skeffington--adapted from the Edwin O`Connor novel based on the life of celebrated Boston mayor James Curley--reflects the director`s abiding pessimism about the fate of American cities. Skeffington (Spencer Tracy) is about to begin his fifth and likely last campaign for mayor of a city in New England. A champion of the poor and downtrodden (especially if they happen to be Irish), the mayor is not above a bit of corruption if it will bring them comfort, a policy that has earned the enmity of both the city`s WASP faction and the clergy. The mayor`s journalist nephew, Adam Caulfield (Jeffrey Hunter), accompanies him to a wake and observes the dual nature of the politician: He shamelessly works the crowd for support but later pressures grasping undertaker Johnny Degnan (Bob Sweeney) into reducing the exorbitant funeral costs. Upon hearing that some bankers have reneged on providing a loan for a slum clearance project, Skeffington bursts into their elitist private club and gives them hell. Tracy and an excellent supporting cast, including Pat O`Brien, John Carradine, Frank McHugh, Donald Crisp, and Basil Rathbone, enliven Ford`s nostalgic tribute. Curley, who considered the film an invasion of privacy, sued the studio, which settled out of court.
